Abstract
Brain-state-dependent non-invasive brain stimulation and functional priming: a hypothesis.
Highlights
A commentary on Coupling brain-machine interfaces with cortical stimulation for brain-state dependent stimulation: enhancing motor cortex excitability for neurorehabilitation by Gharabaghi A, Kraus D, Leão MT, Spüler M, Walter A, Bogdan M, et al Front
Another goal is to achieve an entrainment of brain oscillations with external currents, which are delivered at certain frequencies to improve the functions by altering physiological activity that outlasts the stimulation period [see for review, Nitsche and Paulus, 2011; Antal and Paulus, 2013]
The translation of these findings into clinical practice was so far not realized. In this respect a recent study by Gharabaghi et al (2014) is of particular interest. These authors explored the possibility of using a brain-state-dependent stimulation (BSDS) approach in poststroke patients
